Along the sacred Ganges, where the river tumbles from Himalayan heights, yoga mats unfurl at ashrams that have hosted seekers since the Beatles found enlightenment here. The evening Ganga Aarti ceremony bathes the riverbanks in flickering light and chanted prayers. Brave the white-water rapids for an adrenaline counterpoint to meditation sessions. The Beatles Ashram stands as a graffiti-adorned monument to spiritual tourism. Triveni Ghat offers a front-row seat to Hindu rituals performed with timeless devotion. Nearby Rajaji National Park shelters wild elephants and tigers in dense forest. This vegetarian-only, alcohol-free city serves as gateway to Himalayan treks and the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites that draw the faithful year-round.
